I’ll really lose something we’ll see
what God does and we’ll go on home psalm
37 beginning at verse 23 will reverse 23
to 25 ties in very well with the song it
says the steps of a good man better
translation valiant person strong person
the steps of a valiant person are
ordered by the Lord and he the Lord
delights in his way
though he fall he shall not utterly be
cast down for the Lord upholds him with
his hand I have been young now I am old
yet I have not seen the righteous
forsaken nor his descendants begging
bread the steps of a good man are
ordered ordered are set up are erected
are established steps of a good man are
established they’re established is
already done they are established they
are set up they are established the
steps the going forth the going forth of
a good person a valiant person the going
forth of a valiant person the going
forth the steps each and every step that
creates their going forth has already
been settled they are established they
are set up tell your neighbor it’s
already done it’s already done
it’s already done father we thank you so
much for this word it is a lamp into our
feet and it is a light unto our path and
God I sense that you desire to do a
number of amazing and beautiful things
in our lives today but one thing I am
convinced you are after is a conviction
within us that believes and receives and
lives in the conscious reality that it
is already done
so my prayer if you don’t do anything
else my prayer is that you would set us
free to the next degree based on our
spiritual comprehension of the victory
that we possess not a victory that we’re
trying to gain but a victory that was
procured in Christ meaning that once we
got Christ we got it and father may the
evidence of that be the eradication of
anxiety Oh hallelujah
whoa hallelujah may the evidence of that
be assuring up of ourselves from the
inside out that would cause us to no
longer receive what is beneath us that
desperation would disappear Oh
hallelujah and that we would only
receive high things lofty things things
that are worth who you called and
created us to be father made this
revelation be so strong that we would
untether ourselves from everything that
is connected to a lesser version of
ourselves Oh Lamar abhisheka Abba yeah
yeah that that the revelation would be
so profound and so striking in our
hearts and minds that it would
immediately reveal to us everything that
you did not build that’s in our lives
even walls of protection that are no
longer necessary because you’ve got us
covered and so got what I’m asking for
is transformation that we would leave
out of here
a little higher than we were upon going
in a little more sure a little more
victory a little more clarity and I pray
God even in the mist God the dreams
would beginning to come back that you
would put put an AI can do in our
spirits yeah then we would have a fresh
brand new yes I can in our spirits since
it’s already done we might as well go
for it do that heal us bless us
encourage us edify us empower us
strengthen us elevate us in Jesus name
Amen amen do me a favor you agree just
put your hands together celebrate God
and honor the person next to you as you
take your seat hallelujah already done
it already done hallelujah who’ve
already done hmm well here on February
16 2020 I want to officially welcome you
to 2020 now that may seem a little
strange aren’t you about a month and a
half too late no because I believe that
the reality of 2020 is just now truly
beginning to be realized
because you know how it is we step into
a new year and we have our plan and we
have our strategy and we have our sense
of how things should go and then we step
in bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and
everything is wonderful and then
typically we realize that most of the
time it’s actually a little more
difficult than we thought I was talking
to a friend of mine I just was thinking
he’s a championship boxer and I called
him up because I felt like February like
this moment this time I just felt like
there was some sort of connection
between the second round of a 12 round
bout and the second month in a new year
and I called him like a man um I have a
question for you I don’t know much about
boxing or whatever but tell me what what
is the second round like describe to me
the second round and it was like well
you know and in the second round you you
have to typically make some adjustments
and you have to reassess your strategy
because you came into the ring with one
strategy based on you studying your
opponent and studying the way that they
move and and all sorts of boxing
thoughts and boxing strategies that I
don’t know anything about he said and
you study that and then but once you get
in the ring that’s where it goes from
conceptualization to realization because
this is what I thought but actually this
boys hitting a lot harder but this guy
was hitting a lot harder than I thought
or they’re a little faster than I
thought you know they they gained a
little bit I guess they trained well
when they’re lighter and they’re hitting
harder and so in the second round is
when you you have to kind of reassess
and you have to to maybe change your
strategy a little bit and I feel like
that’s that’s where we are as we’re
dealing with the reality of 2020 see
there’s one thing the concept of 2020 is
oftentimes different than the reality of
2020 and I don’t know is it just me or
did January feel like it was like 79
days long it just
it like like felt like at least six
months are you Jimmy it was just this
crime like this is just January and so
that helped me to understand that we
have our strategy and what we think and
then there is an actual strategy right
and and the actual strategy is God’s
strategy and when we look at the text
we’re gonna see that that our life is a
strategy like everything about our life
right now is a strategy and I talk about
it all the time and Jeremiah chapter 1
God says before I formed you in the
belly I knew you and me knowing you is
why I formed you which meant that the
only reason why you were formed was
because of God’s strategy mmm there’s a
there’s a there’s a strategy and and for
your life your life is a stretch there’s
a strategy to your life it is not random
it is not let’s just navigate life and
let’s just see what happens that’s not
it
no there literally is a strategy for
your life a calculated strategy and
there are not three strategies for your
life there not three there’s one
strategy for your life because before
you got here God already saw the steps
that he ordained for you to take the
steps that he ordained there’s certain
things that God has ordained for your
life and you have to get to it as
quickly as possible because when you get
to walking and what God has ordained
there’s no failure oh I didn’t say that
there are no disappointments we’ll talk
about that but there’s no failure when
you begin to align with what God with
the strategy of God concerning you there
is nothing that will be able to stop you
the only thing that will be able to stop
you is you are you tracking with me so
when I look at when I look at this text
it further underscores the fact that
that that my life is a strategy and so
it says it says the steps of a good man
are ordered by the Lord that word
ordered is an interesting word because
it literally means to be
set up right to be set up to be erected
God my steps got my life is not random
my path is not random my steps have been
set up already I feel that you have
already been set up and this cures me
from wondering if I’m gonna be okay this
cures me from wondering if God has a
path of success and significance for me
it cures me from that because he says
right there God has already he has
already ordered your steps they are set
up they are erect they are there the
steps of a good man are ordered by the
Lord and then I looked at this this the
second part of that verse and it says
and he meaning God delights in his way
or he delights in this path that he has
set up I say this better so so so your
life your steps the steps of a valiant
person a strong person and I’m gonna
talk about why that’s significant in a
second but those steps have already been
set up and been set up right and then it
says and God delights in that path so
regardless of how you feel about that
path God delights in that path but if
but but a closer look at that word
delight is interest and closer look at
look at that word delight means if you
study it it means to incline to or to
bend toward I’m like God help me
understand the significance of that the
steps of a good man are ordered by the
Lord and God is inclined to and is bent
toward that path and then that hit me
that that means that that the presence
of God and the power of God and the
favor of God and the resources of God
are all bent and slanted towards these
ordered steps have you taken notes write
this down write this down write this
down and I’ll put it up there
the power the favor and the resources of
God are bent toward the path that he is
set up for you so all of heavens
resources Philip the favor if you’re
wondering where favor is favor is on the
path if you’re wondering where resources
are fill it right there it is on the
path some of you are trying to get stuff
done and you’re wondering why you don’t
possess what you need and it could be
that you don’t possess what you need
because you are stepping out of order
you’re stepping out of turn you are not
stepping into ordered steps because he
is inclined God God will not anoint what
is not ordained oh let me take my time
right up in here right up in here right
over there in other words there is a
path that is anointed there is a path
that is full of favor there is a path
that resources are already assigned to
relationships finances wisdom insight
open doors yeses there is a path and God
will not Bend towards a path that is not
you and so sometimes what we try to do
is we say God I want this and God will
you please bend towards where I’m at and
God says I can’t because I’m only bit
towards what I’ve already blessed are
you tracking with me and that’s why it
is not wise to ask God to bless what
you’re doing you have to learn to do
what God is blessing because God right
now concerning your life in the Lord he
has already bent and inclined towards
something concerning your life that
there is something concerning your life
right now that God has already anointed
that you don’t even have to pray about
you don’t even have to ask God to do it
it’s already blessed it will already
work it is already settled and it’s
already done there is something seeing
ordered steps ordered that’s why I have
to get to my ordered steps I have to
find out what my order steps are I have
to find the steps of a good man or order
for the Lord I’ve got
stop walking and recalibrate myself and
reassess my strategy because if it’s not
working it is possible that I’m not
where God wants me or I am not
positioned properly in the place that
God wants me to be Oh take my time it’s
gonna be one of them days into hanging
tell ya he’s been got got his slant got
his biased he’s not biased against you
he’s biased for you he’s leaning towards
something so we have to we have to
become skilled at perceiving where God
is leaning I’ve got to get I’ve got to
get better at sense
where God is III allow I’ll tell you
right now I allow the presence of God to
help me I walk by faith and not by sight
I can’t trust sight sight is tricky
because sight is all based on temporary
and because I am Not sure on on carnal
I personally am inclined towards carnal
or temporary things so I have to get to
this place where I don’t trust my eyes I
trust the presence where is the presence
blowing right it may not make sense it
doesn’t seem like there’s anything over
there but I feel the presence of God
over there and so I begin to incline my
feet to the place where the presence is
can I talk to you like this because God
has slanted towards what he is anointed
he’s inclined let’s keep reading here
though let’s keep reading and so it says
the steps of a good man are ordered by
the Lord he delights in his way but then
this verse starts getting a little
confusing it gets confusing because
after that it says though he fall okay
so so hold on I’m confused and confused
because it just said just talk about
steps being ordered right steps of a
good man are ordered by the Lord whoa
God is ordering my steps he is already
gone ahead of me he’s already done it’s
already done hallelujah it’s already
done it’s already done and he delights
in the way and God is excited about the
path that I’m on surely this is good but
then this confusing thing shows up and
it says though he fall that’s is this
verse out of place how can my steps be
ordered by the Lord and yet I still fall
how can my steps be ordered by the Lord
and yet I experience disappointment
something’s wrong something’s wrong
it appears that some sort of how can I
be how can God be the one ordering my
steps but I end up with a broken heart
how can God be ordering my steps and I
don’t get the job even though I pray and
held my praying people praying come on
somebody I just need you need you to
believe me with me for this I’m claiming
it I’m claiming it you’ve been there I’m
claiming it in Jesus name I’m claiming
it I sound like my dear how I’m claiming
it I’m claiming it how can I claim it
and it doesn’t come through how can I
walk with God and experience this
appointment at the same time I don’t get
it how how this is confusing and one of
the things that I believe God spoke to
me is that that some failure is ordained
now doesn’t feel that’s not sexy church
at all that is the most unsexy thing
you’ve ever heard in church before yeah
some failures ordained watch this some
knows ordained you don’t like I know
some knows ordained listen it’s
interesting we love the God who opens
doors but we are suspicious as the one
who closes them when the very passage
that says he opens doors also in that
same verse says he also closes doors he
opens doors that no man can shut and he
shuts doors that no man can open and one
of the things that I’ve learned if
you’re taking notes write this down
you’re not qualified by how well you win
but how well you lose
oh you got catch that anybody can win
well anybody can have victory over
victory over victory and and and it seem
like they’re the strongest and most
optimistic person on the planet but how
well do you lose what what do you do
what do you do I know you’re good at
winning but are you good at losing
because in the order steps of God there
are seasons where both are there I have
to fall there’s something developmental
about the way you re emerge from a fall
that has everything to do with you being
shaped into the valiant person who these
steps are ordered for can I Ella
straight it really quickly raise your
hand if you like burpees you you know
what a Burpee is Rachel you know I have
a love-hate relationship I have a
love/hate relationship with burpees but
but but I think that that that burpees
the Burpee is a perfect example of what
I’m talking about as it relates to the
development that can only come to you
from a fall I feel the Holy Spirit
there’s certain places that God is
taking you to that necessitate the type
of development that does not come to you
when things are going well I’m talking
about the type of development that comes
to you when you fall flat on your face
but somehow you find a resolve on the
inside of you that allows you to
and when you think about the Burpee the
Burpee wouldn’t be a burpee without a
fall I’m about to show you right now in
fact I’m gonna have him show you come
here come up here Yvette’s let’s give it
up for Derrick
Derek can you show us can you
demonstrate us how how falling is the
easy part in the Burpee but the real but
the real development is when you get
back can you show us real quick please
oh oh oh don’t do it again do it again
do it so I have to fall in order to get
back up and I do do it again come on
come on I have to fall in order to get
back up now my abs are getting tight my
core is getting tight my legs are
getting tight my life is getting tight
my hops are coming together I can leap
higher than I can leave come on somebody
throw up fall
[Applause]
there are some things some dimensions
that you can’t even live in without the
development that comes after a fall is
there anybody in here and you have gone
through a fall and somehow you’ve found
it within you to get back and when you
came up you didn’t come up to Spain you
were stronger
you weren’t develop come out and shout
affects you you needed to fall I know it
didn’t feel good
but another you emerged if everything
would have gone the way that you
wouldn’t that you wanted them to go
you wouldn’t be who you are you would be
a lightweight let me tell you something
one of the things that I’ve learned
about life life is fair because it only
throws heavy blows at heavy weights are
you tracking with me
it only throws heavy blows at heavy
weights and there’s some people in here
right now and you have been disappointed
but I’m telling you even that
disappointment it’s gonna work together
for your good I see you’re getting
stronger I see you get wiser I see you
getting more solid I see you
your steps and see oftentimes what
happens is when you when you experience
a disappointment it makes you feel like
you miss God you didn’t miss God
sometimes you walk right into God you
walk right into God it says though we
fall though we fall
watch this yeah you’re in my order steps
and sometimes my order step will lead
you into a fall but guess what it’s not
the type of fall you think it’s not the
type of fall that casts you utterly down
because even when you fell I was up
holding you I was propping you up I was
propping you up I hear God saying you
thought that you fail you thought that
when you fail I abandoned you or
abandoned you or you thought that you
fail because I abandoned you I will
never leave you I will never forsake you
even when you fall I’ve got you in my
hands because the same hand that allowed
you to fall is the same hand that’s
gonna lift you up that’s gonna put you
in your seat that’s gonna put you in
your high place and here is the thing
here is the thing you can’t let
disappointment kill you
I’ve learned something about God you’re
not qualified by how well you win that’s
not true even Jesus had to fall to rise
did you hear what I just said even Jesus
had to fall to rise there I love my shop
for some of you there’s some dimensions
that the only way up to is down and I
don’t want you to think there’s some of
you and you think you’ve been demoted
you haven’t been demoted you’ve been set
up you’ve been set up you’ve been set up
for your step up there’s some there’s
some barriers to dimensions that you
cannot just walk through you have to be
pulled back like a slingshot to produce
the type of velocity on the inside of
you to bring you with force to shatter
something I feel that you have to be
wound back sometimes because there’s
some barrier you can’t walk through
something you got us
you got a shadow you got a burst through
they all perusing the God who bursts
through your some things you got a burst
through and you can’t be watch this a
full time winner you need some scars I
don’t even trust people that haven’t
been through anything because because
because you you say you’ll be there but
have you been through the fire
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
you’ve been through the fire I love
everybody I need somebody with some
scars I need to know you’ve been through
something everything is good why
everything’s good but but what are you
gonna do Peter when things get up things
get rough Peter oh Jesus I’ll go with
you to the ends either telling you right
I died Jesus Jesus tatted on him for
life Jesus Jesus and the number three
for three days Jesus JC 3 for life baby
and I heat got turned up and all you saw
was his elbows now God is God is
producing something and I wanna I wanna
I wanna I want to heal something we’re
gonna move on we got a little more to
talk about anyone but I want to heal
something because sometimes we we miss
process pain and the worst type of pain
that you can experience is pain that
comes to you in a season where you were
doing all that you knew to do you gave
your all to the relationship you gave
your all to the career you gave your all
to the job you gave your all to the
ministry you gave you all you gave here
all you came all of yourself to it and
then you got hurt because the logical
mind says if I give my all to this good
thing then there’s no way in the world I
should get hurt and that’s not what
Psalm 37 says Psalm 37 says even when
I’m ordering your steps you will fall
but she won’t be utterly cast down
because the guarantee is that I’m
holding you even when you fall because I
am developing you I need you to be the
type of person that can be disappointed
but not stop believing that your
disappointment doesn’t turn into
disbelief I still need you to be on fire
I need you to shake it off yes
Hurd yes cry yes pray shake it off and
get on fire again get on fire again I
need you hot at all times
and so I believe that and I gotta say
this and this is just my testimony and I
just I’ll tell you straight out there
has never been a disappointment that
I’ve experienced in my life
that did not catapult me into another
stratosphere of grace anointing in
progress I can think of some ooh some
doozy seasons where I was like god this
is unfair I’m your dude I got jc3 on my
no I’m like God I’m your guy I’m your
doom and I laid it all down I left
corporate America I did every I leave I
did exactly what you told me to do and
yet here I am disappointed hurt upset
what part of the game is this and
somehow someway God had just as low life
line sometimes that’s always something
you getting a lifeline right now but it
was just this little lifeline and it was
God still small voice this little
lifeline and I held on to that lifeline
through the dark see sometimes it’s not
gonna be bright but you got to keep on
walking because he didn’t say the steps
of a good man are always bright steps he
just said that they’re ordered right but
he also said in another place he though
I walk through the valley of the shadow
of death I will fear no evil for you are
with me I will walk through it there’s
nothing that I faced painful physically
emotionally spiritually that didn’t set
me up for greater things later not a one
thing I can count each one and so we get
to this place where we can accept
disappointment as long as we know
there’s a strategy I can I can I can I
think that there’s some in this room and
you’re gonna have to have to tell your
disappointment but yeah there was a
strategy though
even in my paint as a strategy now now
David
he is asking a lot of us he’s preaching
to us he’s basically telling us the
steps of a good man are ordered by the
Lord he’s telling us that the order
steps that we need to pursue means to
walk in right in other words you need to
abandon how you want to do life and
really pursue God and the steps that
have already been curated for you steps
have been ordered for you right that’s a
tall order and if that order wasn’t tall
enough then he says I know by the way
you’re gonna fall even with order steps
you’re gonna fall I think David realized
that that that what he was asking
through this song asking of us even
asking of us today he knew somebody
would be reading these thousands of
years later because let’s just be honest
gonna have a real moment with you guys
let’s just be honest I came here to ask
you to surrender to God’s ordered steps
for your life now I realize that that is
a good hallelujah thing to say in church
but in actuality in your life that is a
tall order because you already got your
thing going hello somebody
you had your thing going when you walked
in here and you gonna have your thing
going when you leave out here you didn’t
come in here planning on potentially
suspending your thing whatever your
thing is can we have a real conversation
here you didn’t come in here and say my
life before this moment I am ending and
I’m gonna walk into this building and
whatever the Lord tells me to pick up
even if it’s my cross and to follow him
that’s what I’m doing walking here with
that you say imma just I’m gonna set my
thing down for a minute and I’m gonna go
up in here and worship Jesus for a
minute and my thing’s gonna be waiting
on me you’re not a man I already know
you got plans I’m not saying they’re bad
plan I’m just talking about your own
thing I’m not saying they’re negative
necessarily I’m gonna stop my our own
thing so so so this is a tall order I
came here straight out to challenge you
to call you to surrender in such a way
where you’re willing to only do God’s
thing for you that’s a tall order that’s
a tall order I realize that I think
David knew I was preaching this and not
only that but also oh and by the way
while you’re doing that you gonna fall
you gonna have to do some burpees
that’s a toward er but David seems to
wanna soften that that blow a little bit
and what he says in this last verse so
he says the steps of a good man are
ordered by the Lord he delights in his
ways as though he fall he should not
only be cast down for the Lord upholds
him with his hand and then he goes into
is he’s selling now and he says I have
been young and now I’m old and I’ve
never seen the righteous forsaken nor
his seed begging bread now David is
qualified he’s qualified to get our
attention and to speak to us like this
because he has been through so much in
his life David started out as completely
rejected Saul came to anoint the King
the king was in Jesse’s house and Dave
and Jesse brought out everybody except
David that’s rejection he experienced
rejection he experienced being
overlooked he was out cleaning the Sheep
dealing with the Sheep all right he goes
from that godson anoints him he goes
from that he fights a lion he fights a
bear then he has to fight Goliath right
so watch this he talked about
disappointments
so David watches David gets anointed and
the Prophet says you are king over
Israel the next thing you know he is
running from Saul and he is out in the
waters his life looks nothing like what
was promised to him he knew all about
this
pointment but at least during those
years of of waiting on God so to speak
he had this guy named Samuel who was a
prophet to encourage him but then guess
what
Samuel dies on him so so the only point
of reference for all the prophecy has
now died so he’s running from Saul he’s
hungry his men are tired he’s got a few
hundred people who have made him King
they find themselves in a bad way then
the prophet Samuel dies on him and he
asked to define it within himself to
continue on because it’s a promise over
his life well we know things get better
right ultimately Saul dies David gets
the kingdom everything is good for a
minute until he sees his gal named
Bathsheba and he falls and he ultimately
you know the story read it when you get
a chance it’s an incredible swelling
incredible it’s an interesting story
it’s like green leaf it just it plays
out like green leaf you know we love
green they’ve got blessed Oprah and
everybody I love so much but it’s
scandalous and somebody gets killed and
then he gets Bathsheba pregnant and then
they lose the baby and then then then he
gets past that guys has mercy on him but
then his own son tries to kill him and
tries to take the kingdom from him then
his armor-bearer of years and years
tries to kill him and tries to take over
the kingdom and he goes to ups and downs
and ups and downs and ups and down and
he dies in good old age he’s qualified
he has seen so much in life but he says
I’ve been young but now I’m old and I
have seen a lot of things in life you
name it I have seen it I have seen
scandal after scandal I’ve seen battle
after battle I’ve seen confusing things
I’ve seen crazy things I’ve been
disappointed I have been hurt but one
thing I’ve never seen
is the righteous forsaken who was the
righteous in this context it’s the one
who aligns themselves with their ordered
steps he is trying to affirm you and I
in this moment of two things one is that
if you walk if you pay the price to walk
in ordered steps you pay the price to
walk in ordered steps God will never
forsake you you will never regret it you
will come out on top that’s what he’s
saying 1 pay the price of order steps
what is the price what is the price what
does that look like ok pastor that’s all
spiritual but what is what does that
look like ordered steps how do I pay the
price of order of steps how do I get my
my steps how do i align my steps one of
the things that God spoke to me is in
order to to walk in ordered steps you
have to pursue God you have to ask God
see the first step is pursuit the first
step in ordered steps is to step to God
in pursuit and to begin to inquire to
ask God what is the choreography of my
life now one of the things that God
showed me is that most people ask God
like this God show me which way to go
did you catch it you catch it this is
this how most of a Scot God show me the
path I need to walk in what’s wrong with
this picture God show me where I need to
walk show me what path I need to walk
and show me what well Sean got shot I
need you to show me
hey show me come on guys show me and
we’re wondering why God doesn’t show us
he can’t show you moving all over the
place God showed me right cuz you’re
already in your rhythm you’re already in
your rhythm you’re already like I
thought about doing your thing God
please show me God reveal to me your
will for me God show me which direction
and somebody be running God show me
which direction you want me to walk in
Lord Jesus
show me and God says nothing you know
why because you’re already doing your
thing the way that you get aligned with
ordered steps is you stop hmm what’s
this you stop and you suspend your
allegiance to your current rhythm oh I’m
about to drive down your street I’m
almost done in order to be positioned
and sensitive and still enough to even
hear the instructions were ordered steps
you have to stop and be completely
submitted to the rhythm and the
choreography of God that’s the hardest
part you have to say I know that I’ve
got this going on but right now I’m
being still because yesterday’s
choreography may not get me where God’s
trying to take me today you got to stop
yeah stop some can’t hear because you’re
not still the sound of the rhythm of you
doing what you want to do
is bleeding into God’s voice and God
will never compete with your will you’ll
never compete the instruction of ordered
steps are for those who value the voice
of God so he wants to do two things
he wants to encourage you in that there
is no one who has ever dove into this
ordered step lifestyle that has ever
been forsaken they’ve always come out on
top and then he says something that’s
also very interesting he says I’ve never
seen the righteous forsaken nor their
seed begging bread and I thought that
was interest and why don’t we go to
begging Braille how do we get into a
conversation about provision and one of
the things that that the Lord spoke to
me is that one of the greatest lies that
your enemy stirs up within you is he
stirs at fear by suggesting that walking
with God will make you poor oh let me
talk for a minute this is my last point
we’re done he he paints the picture that
says that if you do it God’s Way you’re
gonna lack watch this you’re gonna like
acceptance potentially you’re gonna lack
love relationships community and even
money there are people right now who
love God but will not walk with God
because they feel like walking in
another way will make them more money
they feel like it will be a downgrade I
feel that for somebody and so they
compromise who they truly are because
they don’t believe that walking with God
will pay off because I see everybody
else and they’re not walking with God
and they’re rich
I want to be Rick’s
we laugh but I’m telling you I know I
have friends
so which is a lie actually autofill Holy
Spirit it is a lot and particularly in
our town in our industry it is one of
the biggest lies it says if you even
mention God you will be poor you will be
poor in opportunities you’ll be poor in
relationships and you will be poor
listen it’s almost like saying there’s
no money in God look how crazy that
sounds when the word says in proverbs
10:22 that the blessing of the Lord
it makes rich and he has no sorrow with
it but perception is reality and so what
happens is quite now but what happens is
you have a whole industry of people that
are marching to the rhythm of a lie I’ve
never seen the righteous forsaken nor
their seed begging bread so he’s saying
I understand in 2020 that’s your
struggle mister talented missus talented
talented person that your struggle is
going to be one of your struggles gonna
be one of things going to keep you for
really diving in to God and walking in
ordered steps is you’re gonna think that
there’s no profit and being my profit
that there’s no that that that it’s not
profitable and you start thinking about
how am I going to eat in here today
there’s some people right now in this
room watching via livestream scared to
go all the way in because they feel like
if I go all the way in I will lose
opportunity and that is a lie straight
out of the pit of hell and I feel like
God wants to break something in this
room
right now because you’re next and your
provision and heavens resources are tied
in to you walking in your ordered steps
I think I want to lay into that right
now I think I want to lay into that
right now because I feel it so I feel
that really really strong in this room
there’s some people right now and you
have been you’ve been in this this
wrestling match because God has been
tugging at your heart but every time but
you’re afraid to really yield to God
because you feel like if you yield to
God then then what are these people
gonna think or how is this money gonna
come or how is this deal gonna work out
and it’s God gonna want me to to write
some Christian music or write a
Christian film or something like that an
old God forbid you ever do something
like that it is crazy and I hear God
saying I need you to trust me I gave you
gifts I gave you talents and I’ve got
opportunities
I’ve got order steps there are
businesses that will bless you that I
will erect in media and technology in
finances in real estate
nobody’s serving me begs for bread oh
something’s about to happen somethings
about to happen in here right now
I’m talking to somebody right now
somebody’s conflict it right now
somebody drank the kool-aid somebody
believed a lie somebody is afraid I hear
God saying no weapon formed against you
shall prosper you be my servant I will
open doors for you that no man can shut
oh I gotta work it I feel it right here
this is what I came to this is what I
came to this is what I came for
I want everybody stand up real quick
don’t you leave don’t you leave I’m
coming for you I’m about to break
something off of your life right now I’m
about to break something off of your
life right now and God’s gonna open
doors for you I’m gonna break something
off for you
fear never profits you it is false
evidence appearing real and God has been
pushing you that some in this room right
now and God has been pushing you he’s
been pushing you he’s trying to push you
into your purpose he’s trying to push
you into your calling but you’re a
little bit afraid because you’ve never
been there before and you’ve never seen
it before and you’ve never seen you
can’t see how you will prosper but I
hear God’s saying I will create ways I
will make ways out of no way this is the
thing I’ll do for my child if you hear
I’m after you I’m after your master you
I’m after you I’m after you I’m after
you I’m after you I’m after you I’m
gonna get to everybody but this but this
group of people you’re in a battle
because you have pursued something but
you are you sense that you’re losing
yourself in the pursuit of it so on the
one hand it seems to be going well your
your career is doing this but your life
is doing that get down here get down and
get down here your your there’s a part
of you your career is doing this but
your life your life and nobody knows and
and everybody around you watch this
everybody around you is cheering you but
you’re not cheering you and and what I’m
inviting you to are your ordered steps
because this is a moment I’m telling you
this is a moment I see it I’ve been
pastoring in this town for 15 years
and I’ve seen people come and I’ve seen
people go and I’ve seen people take off
like stars and fall like stars I’ve seen
people do it the right way by ordered
steps and maybe it didn’t happen
overnight
see that’s the issue the reason why God
strategy is always better than our
strategy is because our strategy is not
patient order steps takes time sometimes
you got to stay on one step for three
years because there’s something that is
being developed by you learning how to
stay a place and be planted into place
and not move it seems like nothing is
happening but something is happening
discipline is being developed I’m
talking to a lot of people right now and
here is the struggle man if I really
watch this and true to the God in me how
am I gonna eat so you mean to tell me
that the God who knew you before he put
you in your mother’s womb won’t feed you
won’t take care of you won’t bless you
won’t prosper you could it be that you
actually are getting less than what you
could get because the devil is not a
generous devil he just gives you enough
to keep you on the hook he know generous
devil he’s not an abundant devil
just give me a minute guys give me a
minute
this is this is why we I see people come
people go I’ve seen people walk away
from God like the rich young ruler in
Scripture you got to study when you get
a chance check it out the rich young
ruler he went to Jesus all
self-righteous and everything and he was
like what do I have to do to gain
eternal life Jesus looked at him I said
you know I need to keep the commandments
that or not he was kind of toying with
him he said yeah I’ve done all that and
he’s getting ready to walk away
justified right Jesus like hold up dude
one more thing he says I need you to
sell everything you have and give to the
poor and come with me here’s a crazy
thing crazy thing is the rich young
ruler went away but he didn’t just go
away
the scripture says he went away sad
because he he took the money but left a
piece of himself right there at the
moment of decision and then later on in
a text it gets better
Peter kind of got freaked out a little
bit people’s like yeah I left everything
to follow you we could all right it’s
gonna pay off right and Jesus said Peter
he says there is no one who has left
houses and lands and this and that who
will not receive watch this a
hundredfold everything they gave up
watch this you’re saying oh he must be
talking when you get to heaven he said
no he specified it he said we receive a
hundredfold now in this time I don’t
know who in the world I’m talking to
there are some moguls under the sound of
my voice right now you had a moment of
decision Oh got a Felix so strongly in
entertainment because I’ll tell you
right now entertainment needs new kings
you’re not ready for that you’re not
ready for that you’re not ready for that
and technology technology needs new
kings get to this altar i’ma pray
something’s gonna fall on you I’m
telling you something’s gonna fall on
you something’s gonna fall on you a
hundredfold hon it fold never look at
who’s in position never look at that you
ask the question who’s next
you don’t invest in what is you invest
in what will be harvest is what we will
be you invest four harvests I’m telling
you there is an anointing in this room
right now I am overtime all this but I
came for you there’s an anointing in
this room right now that will give you
the strength to be who you’re called to
be I feel God and a hundredfold blessing
there are people right now that came up
through this church that are sitting in
high places and they love Jesus they
love Jesus get as close to this altar as
you can and all you have to do see I
don’t want you to see this is a moment
like the rich young ruler had he walked
away sad when he could have walked away
not only with the hundredfold but more
importantly with himself you don’t ever
want the first person that you have to
have integrity towards as you hello
somebody you should be the first
beneficiary of your integrity
Oh God a filler you need to prove to you
that you have integrity there’s somebody
here and you don’t even trust you get to
this altar please I got it I can’t do
this forever but if God is speaking to
you you say I want to walk in order

without strategy and your ordered steps
the steps that have been ordered for us
that I’ve been set up for us God are the
steps it’s the process to that strategy
it’s the structure to that strategy so
that ultimately the life that you
envision can be the life that is
manifest God we thank you that this life
will not be a disappointment free life
but even in the disappointment there is
an assurance there is a guarantee that
there’s a strategy even in the midst of
the pain that I am becoming everything
that happens in me to me is happening
for me because my steps have been
ordered and there will never be a time
where you have forsaken me there will
never be a time when you are not with me

[Music]
[Music]
Father in this house you’re doing that
which only you can do you’re shifting
some things there was some questions how
what if I do this what and I thank you
God that you’re breaking the questioning
there’s something that happened recently
what we’re done gosh but there’s
something that happened recently that
you may have heard about and some people
laugh but I think that God was in it
there was a young lady who was a dancer
and a video went viral of her falling
from off the pole he probably saw us and
it was an interesting video and she
falls off the pole right and she’s on
Wendy Williams Show and it was kind of
crazy because she had been asking God to
get her out of it because she realized
that it was beneath her right but
sometimes you feel like you got to do
what you got to do right and you don’t
have to do what you got to do not like
that but it feels like that and I don’t
judge anybody that feels that way but
but the liar will and she was praying
like god this is I know this is not
there’s more and through that thing and
she fell and she got hurt right she fell
I thought that was kind of interesting
though you fall so you fall a long story
short resources are coming to her she’s
going to school she’s getting out of
that not going back to that again
the steps of a good man are ordered
though you fall you should not utterly
be cast down that that is a sign you got
to look at stuff that’s a sign on her
level compromising right if she’s asking
God to get her out of it that means that
there was a part of her that says this
saying this is not it and you know that
wasn’t the most ceremonious way to get
out but she got out and I feel that for
somebody in here right now
and you’re afraid Who am I going to be
and how am I gonna eat and am I gonna be
accepted let me tell you something if a
person doesn’t accept you because you
love God you were in the wrong
relationship to start with no fruit can
come out of that none when I started
walking with the Lord it was painful I
would tell you I saw walking with the
Lord my guy was my best friend me my
best friend right and he just
disappeared and I wasn’t even judgment
or anything I was just you know I just
just started walking and he just he
disappeared but then I went back and I
looked at what our relationship was
based on clubbing and other stuff and
and so there was a connection but the
connection wasn’t the type of connection
that would bring out the best in me or
him what what are you willing to let go
of for your ordered steps for the
strategy for the reason why you’re here
I’m so proud of you
you came to this altar you’re going all
the way and we’re gonna lead you we’re
gonna guide you we’re gonna feed you but
most importantly God says I’ll never
forsake you know where your seatback
brick so father I thank you as your sons
and daughters have said yes here in this
moment I thank you God that you’re gonna
feed them you’re gonna lead them you’re
not gonna leave them stuck you’re not
gonna start them on a journey and then
abandon them you’re gonna be with them
in the high times and the low times
you’re gonna be a source of counsel and
wisdom encouragement affirmation and
blessing and I thank you God that there
is a 100 fold anointing in this house
right now a 100 fold and so whatever
they have to shake or whatever shakes
them because they said yes to you I
thank you that a 100 fold return will
come to them I thank you for ideas I see
creative strategies coming I’d see them
God is handing them out right now
creative strategies in technology in
marketing and entertainment so you got
to remember one idea God is the god of
ideas God is the god of thoughts one
thought can change your whole life one
thought so god I thank you that 100 fold
is coming down and not just in resources
in creativity in relationships in favor
because they said yes honor I thank you
for the to honor this I thank you for
the testimonies that are coming

things from you because they would not
match the manifold you which she would
catch what I just said Oh Oh God trying
to turn this thing off God kept some
things from you because you were sizing
yourself up wrong there are dimensions
of you that were still waiting to unfold
and if you would have got what you asked
for
you would have been unequally pay
[Music]
you would have been unequally paired
with the relationship you would have
been unequally paired with the
opportunity you had to be rejected God
had to say no the door had to close
because you
we’re still unfolding and the raw
alignments will hinder your folding
process are you tracking with me
we’ll keep you folded when you’re
supposed to unfold three or four times I
see an acceleration of your unfolding
